Not trying to be Miss Morals but it’s just not cool to rip on someone’s background like that.

And to Mr. Twit, get a life, surely you have more going for you than being a jerk in the comments section of a blog, right?

Steve, keep up the good work (I appreciate it) and flush these yahoos.

On the topic of baseball…I think if you ask Randy Johnson, he’d say the strike zone for a pitcher in pinstripes is a little narrower. Might explain the less than stellar performance for a series of hired pitchers. Perhaps Javy V. and even my boy Weaver suffered some from this. When you don’t get the corners, you have to hit the fat part of the plate, and the ball lands in the seats. A nibbler will not do well with the Yankees. To my eye they even squeezed Mo a bit more this year. Mo’s, Wang’s and to some extent Moose’s effectiveness are not the called strike (i.e., it’s not in the umps hands as often), but rather it is their ability to get hitters to swing at pitches that are moving out of the strike zone.

I still play baseball and catch maybe 45 games a year. Clearly, certain umps and certain pitchers get crossed with each other, and neither ever forgets. A good catcher is always working the umps (before during and after the games) to smooth those out.

The interesting angle on this discussion is that hard data exists from the strike zone cams that they use to grade the umps. However, Selig would never approve the use of those facts to investigate something that would only bring a stink to the game. So, we just need to outplay our opponents and take it out of the umps hands.

I am sorry that it’s taken me this long to make the connection and allowing this person to take time away from your day.

BTW, you would also know that this is NYSUPREMACY. Peter Gammons will never die, and my only goal in life is outlast that Cocksucking Faggot so I can Shit on his grave.
